Have you ever went to Outback and ordered the Alice Springs Chicken entree? Well, it is the ONLY thing I have ever had on my few outings down under, and I found myself craving it one night. So I decided to try my own version---And IT WAS SO GOOD!!!

Brown 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a frying pan sprayed with cooking spray. Season with lemon pepper, garlic salt, or whatever you like. Put browned chicken breasts in a baking dish (I used a 9X13 glass dish lined with tin foil so I wouldn't have to wash it). Meanwhile in the same frying pan, fry strips on bacon (about one per chicken breast) and set aside. If bacon was really greasy, pour out most of the grease, then use a little left in the pan to fry 1 cup sliced mushrooms. (I used canned since I was out of fresh and they worked fine.) Place mushrooms on top of chicken, then cut bacon in half and place on top of mushrooms. Top with cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with honey mustard dipping sauce.
